MPs defy Kibaki and Raila on the Hague

Earlier, the meeting chaired by the President resolved to seek more time to get MP’s support for the Bill.

“We have decided that the Serena group (National Dialogue and Reconciliation Committee) and the parliamentary committee on legal affairs should look into the issues raised by the Law Society of Kenya, civil society and other stakeholders and make necessary changes so that we can debate both the Statute and Constitutional Amendment together on Thursday,” PNU chairman George Saitoti, announced after the meeting.

This is the second time a vote on the tribunal has been postponed. Last Thursday, the vote could not be taken as only 52 MPs were in the House.
